Company Information

Mike's Cigars is one of the oldest Cigar Distributors in the United States and has been serving cigar consumers in America and over the world since 1950. After 45 years of operating from its original location on Arthur Godfrey Road, in 1995 Mike's Cigars moved its operations to its current location where they still hold Postal Permit. Founded by Mike Mersel in 1950 decades before cigars became the domain of the common man . Mercel first sold socks and other goods from a pushcart in New York City on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1930s. To escape the northern winters, Mersel and Brother Albert “Ossie” relocated to South Florida where they began building their iconic cigar outfit in some unlikely places. For two years, the Mersel brothers sold hot dogs and peanuts in Flamingo Park. Next, they opened Mike’s News and Sundries on West Avenue and 17th Street in the early 1940s until they both were drafted to serve in World War II. After the war, the brothers reopened the business as Mike’s Cigars at 465 41st Street in Miami Beach, selling cigars at a time when few cigar shops existed. When Mike’s Cigars was opened, the Yankees were still the World Series champions and George Mikan was leading the Minneapolis Lakers to the championship of a young league called the National Basketball Association. Mike’s Cigars was selling mostly Cuban cigars until the U.S. embargo was imposed on Havana by President Kennedy in 1963 after Fidel Castro overtook Havana and nationalized the cigar industry in Cuba.

Expansion

Following the U.S. embargo Mike’s Cigars became a distributor for the General Cigar Corporation, the biggest domestic cigar manufacturer at the time. 1971 was a milestone year for Mike’s Cigars going from a customer base of walk-ins and wholesale, Mike Cigars started internationally. That same year Mike's cigars began licensing their cigar brands which includes today a wide selection including Licenciados, Bauza, 898 Collection, Chevere, Old Fashioned, and Mike’s 1950. After three decades Mike’s Cigars became a distributor for all cigar companies. Mike recruited Oscar Boruchin, a Cuban born immigrant, who was an executive with General Cigar Corporation. Boruchin grew the company from a local storefront selling patrons’ favorite smokes to a first-class wholesale operation.

Cigar Boom

By 1980, Miami Beach’s demographics began to change. Boruchin began to scale Mike's Cigars up with a coffee bar, and cigar accessories boutique featuring cigar humidors , as well as smaller cigars for women. Business had almost tripled, totaling over 500,000 customers and Boruchin’s son-in-law, Oded Ben-Arie was brought aboard to help with the growth. By 1993, Cigar Aficionado magazine rated Mike’s Cigars brand the Licenciados Toro a rating of 93. At that time this was the highest rating ever given to a non-Cuban cigar. From as early as 1995, and definitely since 1997 and in early 2000's, the cigar industry experienced unprecedented growth both in the U.S. and globally. Sales multiplied every year and most merchants were have trouble getting cigars. Mike’s Cigars connections with the major suppliers such as Arturo Fuente and General Cigar proved to be a great advantage.

New Location

The growing business dictated Mike’s Cigars move to its new and much larger building with a cigar shop storefront. The move enabled the company to add an extensive cigar accessories housed within a new boutique on the main floor, which show cased cutters, lighters, cigar cases, ashtrays and humidors imported from France, Italy, and Spain. Operating from the new landmark building, sales doubled with 25-30 million cigars sold per year. Wall Street proposed an IPO in 1998, Mike’s Cigars decided to stay private. This decision proved to be correct when anti-smoke trends years later forced other public U.S. cigar corporations to privatize. It was also the year Mike’s Cigars expanded into e-commerce.

Internet Website

In 2010 Oscar Boruchin retired and Oded Ben Arie became Mike’s Cigars President and CEO. Under the new management Mike's Cigars introduced it's third generation computer system and website, mikescigars.com, serving cigar lovers all over the world, shipping over a thousand packages a day in the U.S. and many more to all other parts of the globe. Mike’s Cigars Mega store is a magnet to consumers and with inventory of ten million cigars it is one of the largest facilities of its kind, worldwide. On the first floor, a full feature cigar bar was built with big screen TV’s accommodating group parties and individuals who would like to have their drinks and smoke a cigar in comfort. Many cigar bars came and went but Mike’s Cigars lives on as one of the largest cigars stores in America. Oscar Boruchin retired in 2010 and his Sr. Vice President and CEO, Oded Ben-Arie took the helm as president Chief Executive Officer of the company. Mr. Ben-Arie joined Mike’s Cigars in 1991 and has been serving the company as its Chief Executive Officer since 2004. Mr. Ben-Arie will continue leading the company as it completes the transition in the hi-tech Internet age. Mike’s Cigars is one of the big three independent cigar mega-stores in the United States with retail and wholesale Internet websites and mail-order catalog services, offering premium cigars from most of the cigar manufacturers worldwide.

And all the cigars are hermetically packed in humidity sealed-in zip-loc with patented WATER-PILLOW packets inside the package to guarantee freshness. With that said please let me add that shipping individual cigars to the pacific north-west by GROUND service is not recommended, especially in the summer By exposing the cigars to the hot conditions in regular postal service or U.P.S. trucks we sacrifice all of the benefits described above. We strongly recommend to purchase the cigars in the ORIGINAL box that was packed and sealed at the factory, and ship cross country by AIR not by ground.

AGE RESTRICTIONS

Persons under the age of 21 are not permitted to use or register for the Site.

A user’s age is verified and confirmed upon purchase of products on our site. Merchandise to underage customers will not be shipped.

We adhere to all Federal & State restrictions on Tobacco Sales, including minimum age of purchase.

Why does Mike’s Cigars require that you verify your age?

As per FDA regulations, we are required to ensure that we do not sell our products to anyone under the age of 21*. In order to verify our customer’s ages, as well as to protect them from fraud, we use a third-party system called Veratad to verify the identification and age of every customer that places an order on our site.*In the U.S. the age may vary based on state.

What is Veratad, and how does it work?

Veratad uses a database comprised of billions of public records to validate the information you submit when placing an order, to confirm the identity and age entered into our system. This service is designed to do this without sacrificing the privacy of the customer when placing an order.

Veratad is renowned for preventing cases of identity fraud by utilizing historical information that cannot be gleaned by the methods typically employed by identity thieves.

What does Veratad do with the information they obtain and is it secure?

A small percentage of customers fail the verification process, usually due to limitations in the age verification database, or due to the customer being located outside of the USA. In these instances, we will contact you to verify your identity or age manually. To do so we will require a copy of your driver’s license, or other government-issued ID, to verify your identification.

SALES TAX

Items sold by Mike’s Cigars and its subsidiaries may be subject to state and local taxes when they are purchased and/or shipped to select locations in the United States and it’s territories.

COOKIE POLICY

Last updated June 05, 2018

This Cookie Policy explains how Mike's Cigar Distributors, Inc. ("Mike's Cigars", "we", "us", and "ours") use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at mikescigars.com, ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. In such cases our Privacy Policy (https://www.mikescigars.com/privacy-policy) will apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Mike's Cigars) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

Essential website cookies:

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

■ How to refuse: Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Websites to you, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings however, as described below under the heading "How can I control cookies?".

Performance and functionality cookies:

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Websites but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.

■ How to refuse: To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?".

■ How to refuse: To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?".

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table above.

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
